    Cape York, here we come

    Car all set for the trip to the Cape and Fraser island, for me its been a long time coming and I am looking forward to doing it in comfort in the D4, just not sure about the noises the 4 kids will be making on the trip !.

    Big thanks to Jason at Rova Range who has the car all services and set up for the trip, its been enjoyable and relatively painless.

    New addictions (auto spell got that right) were the wench, a 12,000 lb unit from Carbon Winch (Nice and Light), the Snorkel (ARB/Safari seem to think I would have time to ride the bike they have as a promo) and the door sill protectors and bash plates underneath from APT.

    Will i need it all, i hope not but I will use whatever excuse I have with the minister of finance to finish setting up the D4 as I want it. The Fyrlygts are the 9000's, amazing lights.

    Now, its a week left at work then hook up the camper, roof top tent on and we are GONE !!!

    good luck and have fun!

    might i suggest some noise cancelling head phones - should limit the pain from the chaos occurring in the back (kids)!
